Rear end lift?

Rear end lift?

Postby hilux_03 on Fri, 30 Aug 2013 11:27 +0000

Ok guys we just raised the front end of the lux 2003 IFS to clear the 32's muddies, must say loving the stiffer setting with the torsion bar winded up, and having extra clearance for the wheels :D

But with hindsight the rear end looks uneven, and wish to raise the rear end to level it out... I will be getting extended shockers as well to compensate for the height.

The car is more so a camping/fishing car, so realistically speaking its never really gonna see any hardcore 4x4 mud or rock crawling...

Few things i came across as its more so a budget build with most of the mechanical work being done by myself and a mate whos a mechanic.

1. Can we just get away with getting raised or resetting the rear leafs to lift it 2 inch?
2. If so, would it be best to replace the shackles with raised ones or just replace em with new ones or the original ones but new from the dealership?
3. And lastly the U bolts, Are there any specific ones for raised leafs, or can any U bolt kit be fine for the job

cheers guys
